[eclipse-dev] Polish: Improving modal progress feedback

[Erich Gamma <erich_gamma@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Supporting concurrent operations requires more sophistcated ways to show
modal progress. As part of the responsivness effort additional progress
support was implemented in the class IProgressService. The existing way to
show progress with the ProgressMonitorDialog is still working. However, to
improve the user experience it is required to migrate to the new
IProgressService. This is therefore an important polish item for 3.0.

The document "Showing Modal Progress in Eclipse 3.0" describes how to
migrate to the new IProgressService:
   http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-core-home/documents/plan_concurrency_modal_progress.html

If there are issues for a component to do this migration then please let me
know.
